The 14th International Conference on Myasthenia Gravis and Related Disorders organised by the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) took place from 10 to 12 May 2022 in Miami, USA. It brought together the best experts in myasthenia, including the researchers of team 7 “Myasthenia Gravis: Etiology, Physiopathology & Therapeutical Approaches” of the Institute’s Myology Centre for Research: Rozen Le Panse, also a member of the steering committee, Nadine Dragin, Jean-Thomas Vilquin, Sonia Berrih-Aknin, Alexandra Bayer, Edouard Hemery, Anne Charlotte Lefranc and Samy Hamadache, as well as Marius Halliez (MCR team 10, “Neuromuscular Connectivity in Health & Diseases“) and Simone Birnbaum (NIC, Neuromuscular Physiology and Evaluation Laboratory).
